Rock Creek Park is the nation's oldest federally-managed urban park and the third oldest park in the country, so I introduced my bill to change its name to "Rock Creek National Park." Fitting to appreciate our parkland a day after Earth Day.

This Earth Day, I'm highlighting the IIJA, which I helped craft as a senior member of @TransportDems . It included $2.5b in grant funding to add more EV charging stations in DC, $1.2b to improve access to public transit and $355m to repair and upgrade DC's water infrastructure.

This year, @OversightDems exposed how foreign governments paid more than $7.8 million to Donald Trump while in office. More than $5.5 million of that came from China! @EleanorNorton wants to know why Republicans aren’t talking about this today. 🤔

Today's federal tax deadline reminds us that DC residents pay more federal taxes per capita than any state and more overall than 19 states, while being denied voting representation in Congress + full local self-government. The remedy is #DCStatehood .
